Hey all, my name's Matt. I'm 25 and I'm a Fireman in Central Florida and just wanted to introduce myself. I've been a "member" of the site since late 2010 when my Nova search began, and I must say this is a great bunch of guys here. I've posted many general questions, and without hesitation I received replies, very helpful replies. I just wanted to thank everyone who has responded to my posts, sent me messages, and helped me in more ways that I could have imagined. That being said I am now proud to introduce my 1972 Chevy Nova, with it's original 307 and it's original 2BBL carb, backed by the TH350 and stock diff. As you can see in my pics she's got a long way to go, but wow have I came a long way since I picked her up. Pushing her off the trailer in the middle of the street and then up the driveway into the garage with the help of my dedicated g/f and my gear-head neighbor. She's been part of the family now since February and after 2+ hard working months, she went on her inaugural ride just the other day (whoo, cheering and applause, lol). So thats pretty much myself in a nutshell, I hope further restoring goes as smoothly and if all does she'll be in the body shop in no time!!! I would be proud to consider all of you my friends, and please do not be shy to ever stop my page and just say hi, or give me any and ALL pointers you guys have come across in your past restos. This is my first Nova I've done, my dad had one growing up, and I've loved them since! I've re-done an 82 Z-28 in the past, but I sold that to make room for my true love. This car is all new to me, and I would love to know any tips, tricks, Q&A sites, or even great parts sites to use in the future. I hope this post is accepted smoothly, and thank you for letting me have a piece of your time.....Matt
